Colonial History Chest, Hands-on History!

Colonial History Chest: Hands-on History! The National Society Sons of the American Revolution can provide qualified members dressed in period-correct 18th-century uniforms for hands-on history classroom programs. Our knowledgeable presenters can spark student interest by letting the students experience what it was like during the Colonial period. Presenters use “Patriot Chest” teaching aids, including reproduction period items such as eyeglasses, documents, colonial eating utensils, quills, plates, games, toys, and period clothing. Students will receive a short introduction to the American War for Independence from the presenter, along with a description of 18th-century clothing and accouterments. This interactive program on the colonial period will engage students, who can see and feel history and ask questions about our nation’s founding era.
